Been going on daily on my iPhone 6 with iOS 10.1.1 since late last week. I think the only time it lasted this long was back in iOS 9.3.3 days. Another iPhone 6 in the household doesn't really seem to be experiencing this either at all or much, just like it wasn't back in iOS 9 days.

I'm on 10.1.1 (iPhone 6s) and ran into this problem lately. Sometimes one app will eventually download/install after a while but the majority of them fail and the update button comes back - very annoying. I've reached out to Apple support previously when Limit Ad Tracking (under privacy) caused issues with the App store but their solution is always restoring the phone which hasn't fixed the issue.

This has been going on for me most of the time since ios 10 dropped. I noticed the change either that day or the next, whenever I first attempted to update anything after it came out.

I do notice that if it presents with an app appearing to download and then changing to the cloud icon, it will eventually finish loading the update if I just ignore it. But as usual, don't update an app if you will need it soon.
